property_service: make /dev/__properties__ readable
Currently, system properties are passed via the environment
variable ANDROID_PROPERTY_WORKSPACE and a file descriptor passed
from parent to child. This is insecure for setuid executables,
as the environment variable can be changed by the caller.
Make the /dev/__properties__ file accessible, so an app can
get properties directly from the file, rather than relying on
environment variables.
Preserve the environment variable for compatibility with pre-existing
apps.
